I did, now that you post them again -- very good to see your girls having fun in the snow. Feel free to post more as circumstances permit; not only is your riding area one of the list's most beautiful, but it's very interesting to see families on Rivendells. On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 2:56 PM, Deaco

Excellent; thanks; very good to know. All y'all: I will be very interested to hear others' experiences of the Clems in flat dirt and in singletrack dirt. After reading the Jones+ thread, I began to wonder if a Clem might be a poor man's Jones. On Sat, Mar 12, 2016 at 2:09 PM, Deacon Patrick wrot

Nearly every ride we do, one or both of the lassies comments (unprompted) how much better the handling of the Clementines is compared with their old bikes. Our oldest, most tentative rider (next to my wife) headed into a loose dirt lot on the way home to practice tight turns. 2.1" Thunder Burts,
